Fences : A f**ked up girl finding her own peace of mind

I'm sitting in a room

Made up of only big white walls and in the hall
There are people looking through the window in the door
They know exactly what we're here for
Don't look up
Just let them think there's no place else you'd rather be


You're always on display

For everyone to watch and learn from
Don't you know by now you can't turn back?
Because this road is all you'll ever have


If you let me I could

I'd show you how to build your fences
Set restrictions, separate from the world
The constant battle that you hate to fight
Just blame the limelight
Don't look up
Just let them think there's no place else you'd rather be


And now you can't turn back

Because this road is all you'll ever have

Me in my flat.. Living independent 

The verve...My flat was known as a place not only I could chill in but where other people who lived with me came to relax! As I lived in supported housing with about 30 other residents I wasnt the only one with a tale to tell. Alot of people shared problems like a big family and this was inspiring to alot of my work. This is what gave me the idea to push myself to get through uni so I can help others If I was to become an Art Therapist!
Having experienced alot in my life I believe that I can use this to my advantage!


Alot of my old Artwork and some of my favourite photographs and other artists work make up these boards!
These boards make me have full confidence within myself that I can create a masterpiece

Dream catcher : My interest in dreams and understanding dreams  lead me to buy a dreamcatcher.
I think they also influence my style

Candles are one of my obsessions.I believe that when someone is fully relaxed this is when good artwork is produced and Candles are what help me relax!

Peace 

As I have a pet turtle called spinelli that cant live with me I have this as a replacement
Its handmade and has a feel of Aboriginal artwork within its shell

My new bedroomThis is the bedroom I have been most settled  in. As an adult now this room can look quite childlike but also very artistic based with alot of my previous work from colleges up on the wall

I tried to keep some colour in my life but as I have an obsession with black and white photos this is  how I choose the theme for one of my rooms in the verve!

One of the comfiest beds ever


This was my kitchen..quite cluttered but homely with alot of letters and notes from loved ones
As I like to be surrounded by pictures all the time,photos and magazine cut outs helped me get through the day

My bedding Is designed by Andy Warhol (Elvis)  

The bedrooms of laura wright

I think by looking at someones bedroom you can find out alot about there personality!
All these rooms are places I have lived in the past year.
Being Aspergers I seem to take alot of comforts with me eg photos,bedding,ect
My room is like a get away,Its where I get time to think and inspiration to draw and take photos. 
Alot of the objects in my room are quite sentimental to me.Alot of them have meaning and purpose, 
but to someone who was just to look at them would just think I was a hoarder.
I love all my rooms and I think alot of them are similar to eachother indicating my passion for what I do
Alot of the walls are covered in photos and artwork created by myself and others.
Lyrics from songs and images of celebrities are also A big influence on my artwork so I tend
to have this as my surroundings whilst I draw.
